Stripes and solids! Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski are a perfect match as they take part in Good Will Hunting Live Read event

She hadn't even begun acting when Good Will Hunting won the Oscar for best screenplay in 1997.

But Emily Blunt was more than happy to take on the role of Skylar (played in the movie by Minnie Driver) for a reading of the film on Friday night, perhaps because her husband John Krasinski was directing the effort.

The 33-year-old Sicario actress kept things quite casual for the event.

On top, she opted for a distinctive long-sleeve shirt which featured horizontal white and black stripes.

A pair of unique black peep-toe heels with solid uppers rounded out the laid-back outfit.

The U.K. native seemed to have embraced just a touch of natural-looking make-up in addition to a slick of peach lipstick.

Opposites attract: Husband John, 36, also kept things low-key in a solid black sweater, black jeans and black suede shoes. The monotone outfit did contrast greatly with that of his wife

After the red carpet, the actors moved onto a stage, where all looked to be in good spirits.

As they both wrote and starred in the original movie, both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were on hand for the event as well.
